Chapter 7

Fuji eyed his prey from through the fence. Ryoma was having a practice match with Eiji and the little tennis genius was a match point away from taking the win.

Fuji gave a small smile seeing his best friend whine to, what he refered to be, their baby boy. Blue eyes took in every move the smaller boy made and Fuji could still picture them into the night they had shared together.

"Sugoi, Ryoma-kun." he greeted walking up to them two as the two players left the court.

Ryoma flinched giving his senpai a glare and then a quiet "domo".

Fuji smiled brightly and reached out for Ryoma's hand. The younger boy jumped a couple of steps back.

"What are you doing?" he hissed under his breath.

"Practice is over. I thought we'd go and change."

"I can manage there myself…" was the annoyed reply.

"Are you sure? You look a little tired. I mean, I know you've beat Eiji before,-"

"Hey Fuji! I heard that!" Eiji yelled, turning around to face them. Oishi was quick and grabbed his boyfriend to lead him to the locker room.

"…but  you seemed so into it today." the tensai then continued.

"…"

Ryoma continued to walk, with Fuji following next to him.

"It's nice to have these conversations."

"…"

"I think I rather like my new hobby." Fuji then said and Ryoma waited with pulling open the locker room door.

"What hobby?" he muttered and Fuji smirked.

"Stalking you." he answered happily. Ryoma remained frozen for a couple of seconds before opening the door and making his way towards his locker.

Just his luck that all the regulars were still there, well atleast the annoying freshmen trio had left.

Fuji-senpai had apparently went from quite the low-profile-harassing to public harassment on him. Sighing the young boy opened his locker, only to suddenly be drowned in dozens of roses.

Momo and Eiji were the first ones to notice, of course! Ryoma groaned in frustration from where he was lying on the floor under all the red roses. Three guesses who had put them there!

"Oi Echizen, you're really popular!" Momo laughed half happily and half mocking his kouhai, therefor laughing happily mocking him, the boy decided.

"Shut up." the smaller boy almost shouted, silently thanking the gods nobody seemed to have suspected that the gift would be from someone seeing him. Speaking of seeing him, Ryoma turned his head towards Fuji's direction and there it was again. That smile.

Eiji was leaning between his best friend and his lover, catching his breath from all the laughing. "Ochibi, you look so cute!!"

Ryoma let his gaze swift from Fuji to Eiji, shooting the redhead a death glare.

"Ryoma, are you alright?" Fuji's voice was amused. The tensai earned his attention once more and he mustered out a small and very irritated "betsuni". Fuji's smile turned into an evil smirk. "Should I be the jealous one this time?"

"Hoi?" Eiji managed to say looking curiously at Fuji. Ryoma felt his face starting to heat up, hoping his stupid senpai would hold his tongue.

"But this couldn't have been a fan girl's doing…" Inui suddenly said.

'Saved!' the younger boy thought relieved, as everyone's attention was aimed at the data expert.

"No one outside the tennis club are allowed here, and besides this is the men's dressing room." Inui continued. "I think…someone from here might have done this…the freshmen were too busy cleaning and since there are no none regulars here-"

"You know, it doesn't matter." Ryoma said, rising up from the floor and brushing some flowers off him.

"WAA!! Ochibi, I wanna know!" Eiji snapped and raised a fist to make his point.

"Don't worry, Eiji, I'm sure we'll find out." Fuji said in a gentle voice, taping the other guy's back. Quietness suddenly filled the room as all eyes were on Fuji. In silence everyone stepped back to continue changing occasionally mumbeling out a 'yeah, we'll just have to see'.

None of them wanted to get in the tensai's way, especially since he had already played half of them already. They were just grateful Fuji was aiming his attention towards Echizen instead of them, neither one of them wanted to be caught in the crossfire, or cross his path or…cross him.

One by one they left earlier than ever before, in the end leaving Fuji alone with Ryoma, who was cleaning the flowers from the floor.

"Are you satisfied now?" Ryoma then asked coldly, as Fuji kneeled down next to him to pick up the last roses.

"Hai. For now." Fuji smiled innocently and handed the other boy the flowers. Ryoma stood up and walked over to the trash bin roughly shoving them in there. "Now that's a shame, there's so much fun you can have with roses…"

"Fuji-senpai, what is it that you want?" Ryoma was tired of playing games.

"You, obviously." was Fuji's cheerful answer. Ryoma sighed. He didn't have the strenght to put up with his senpai's games anymore. He decided to end it.

"Senpai, the night we…it was nice, but I'm not like that…I'm straight. I'm sorry." the younger boy then lied, hoping that Fuji wouldn't see through his fat lie.

"Yeah, do the denial." Fuji chuckled, and Ryoma's eyes widened.

"I-It's true! I feel attracted to you, but that's all! I love, um, I love…Sakuno!" Ryoma made a disgusted face, and Fuji gave another amused chuckle.

"Really? Enough to cheat on her?" he pointed out and came closer to the confused boy.

"Y-yes, I mean no! I mean…-" the boy tried to explain, being interrupted by a kiss.

"Too bad…that you're straight I mean. Well, I guess I'll just have to show you what you're missing out and see if you change your mind about that." the tensai then murmured into his ear, hearing the other boy breath heavily against his own chest.

Ryoma found it hard to swallow. He had no idea what he could say to make Fuji back off, especially when everything he said gave Fuji more ground to play on. Light kisses were planted on his neck and Ryoma moaned letting his head fall back.

The younger boy didn't like to worry about stuff, so he surrendered for a while, drowning into Fuji's touch and that familiar scent, devouring him fully.

His body had missed the feeling of the other boy's and wanted to act out on it, letting slightly shaking hands wrap around the tensai's back and chest push itself up to be pressed against the other's.

Ryoma longed for the feeling of Fuji taking dominance over him, but the other boy wasn't pushing him in order to make him reach his pleasure. Fuji wasn't making any advantages.

The younger boy ran persuasive fingers on his senpai's back to bravely message Fuji to make his move on him already, instead Fuji drew him into a deep and passionate kiss and when it broke the smaller boy was the one to continue on with another one.

Fuji's hands also wrapped around the other ones. When he broke the kiss Ryoma started he couldn't help a smile forming on his lips. "So you love her…!?"

"H-hai." Ryoma doubted with his answer. There was a brief moment of silence.

"Pick you up tomorrow night at your place?"

"H-hai." Ryoma decided to agree, since his lie couldn't have even fooled Momo-senpai.

"At 6 again?"

"Hai…" was the distant answer.

"So are we dating now?"

"Ha- what?! No." Ryoma snapped out of his trance and eyed the blue eyed boy with much annoyance.

"No?" Fuji smiled amused.

"N-O!" was the determined answer and Fuji chuckled.

"I guess, it will take me more than that to get you then." he gave a dramatic sigh. The younger boy was still eyeing him irritated. "See you tomorrow, date."

"Konnichiwa, Ryoma-kun!" Fuji gave a warm smile as Ryoma opened the door for him and the tensai stepped inside his house.

"Oi, who was at the door?" Great! His stupid father would have to show up now."Hey, I know you! You're Fuji, on the phone and from the other morning!"

Oh no, his father had not forgotten about the tensai. (Who would!?)

Fuji greeted his father with respect. "Well, let's go, Ryoma."

"Chotto! Hold on for a second!" Nanjirou approached the two. "You're a Seigaku regular, right?" Fuji gave him a nod. "Then, have a match with me! If you score one point from me, I will let you date my son!"

"Nani?" Ryoma said, about to protest to that when Fuji cut in.

"Fine with me."

~

Ryoma knew he had once or twice scored a point from his father when they had played. Fuji-senpai was also probably a tad better than him...The boy shook that out of his head, refusing to acknowledge what he had just thought. There was no way Fuji was up to this…was there?!

The match started how Ryoma had expected it to; his father was in charge the whole time, but it amazed the young boy to see how Fuji was able to hold his own. Guess all those times being up against Tezuka had had it's affect in developing Fuji's game. The boy wondered if this was what Fuji's real strenght was like.

His father hadn't said anything about how many sets he wanted to play and it was starting to be the end of the normal amount of sets.

"What's the matter? If this continues you won't have my permission in dating my son!" Nanjirou provoked in the Echizen way.

"Mada mada." Fuji smiled catching his breath. He served and Nanjirou was already chasing his disappearing serve, when he suddenly stopped seeing how the ball just rolled in a high speed right under his racket.

Ryoma's eyes widened. A disappearing serve combined with the Tsubame Gaeshi. Even if his father had noticed what was going on he couldn't have stopped it, since there was no way of picking the Tsubame Gaeshi up once it touched the ground.

Ryoma was taken back from his thoughts hearing his father laugh satisfied.

"That was good. You have my blessing." he grinned and added silently so that only Fuji could hear him. "It's a good thing you were a cute prodigy tennis player, otherwise I would not have agreed to this."

Fuji chuckled. "I won't disappoint you." he said and at the same time thanking his sensei for the opportunity given to him.

"Well then, don't you have somewhere to be?" Nanjirou smirked teasingly at his son, who was finally involved.

"Hai." Fuji answered instead. "Don't wait up for us." he then added, drawing a slightly flushed Ryoma with him.
